Hundreds of New Yorkers rallied in Washington Square Park on Wednesday night to protest against President Trump and the two executive orders he signed earlier in the day.

“No ban! No wall! This is our New York!” the crowd chanted, just hours after Trump ordered the building of his signature Mexican border wall and removal of funds from “sanctuary cities” like the Big Apple.

“Say it loud, say it clear, refugees are here to stay!” they shouted. “No hate! No fear! Immigrants are welcome here!”

The “emergency” protest — quickly organized by the New York chapter of the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR-NY) — lasted less than 3 hours and appeared to remain peaceful the entire time. City Council Speaker Melissa Mark-Viverito and city Comptroller Scott Stringer attended the demonstration, along with several other city officials.

“[Trump] continues to scapegoat all of us, and we’re pushing back on all of that and we need to continue to channel this energy in a positive way,” she said. “He is highly insecure — tweeting about the size of his hands, visibly angry because of all the millions of people that came out to reject him. Someone like him can be a lethal combination. We need to reject this man who lost the popular vote by more than 10 million votes. Let’s continue to defy this administration.”

On Wednesday morning, after months and months of vowing to build a wall on the southern border, Trump signed the executive order calling for federal funds to be directed to its construction.

“A nation without borders is not a nation,” the president said. “We are going to restore the rule of law in the United States. Beginning today, the United States of America gets back control of its borders.”

On Thursday, Trump is expected to implement a temporary ban on all refugees entering the US from countries with large Muslim populations. This reportedly includes Iran, Iraq, Libya, Somalia, Sudan, Syria and Yemen.

“Trump, you’re an idiot!” Stringer said at Wednesday’s rally. “This town can’t live and function without an immigrant community.”

“Banning immigrants is a stunning betrayal of our moral responsibility,” added Councilwoman Helen Rosenthal. “We are prepared to run this city without federal dollars if that’s what it takes…Our refugee settlement program has long been a beacon to the world, and has helped more than three million immigrants in their lost, trying hour of need.”

Stringer has said in the past that he believes Trump could ultimately take away total of $7 billion that the city currently relies on from the federal government.

New York is one of several “sanctuary cities” across the country that has vowed to not kick out undocumented immigrants. Others include San Francisco, Chicago, Miami and Los Angeles.
